At HD Screening and Laboratory (HDSL), we are proud to partner with the African American Women’s Trucking Association (AAWTA) to advance health equity, expand access, and foster education for African American women truck drivers. Our commitment to breaking barriers, creating economic opportunities, and enhancing representation positions HDSL as a trusted advocate for workforce safety, a health educator, and a consultant driving transformative change in the trucking industry.
Bridging the Gap: Health Equity and Access
Truck driving is a demanding profession, often requiring long hours on the road and resilience in the face of health challenges. African American women in the industry face additional hurdles, such as limited access to tailored healthcare resources and services.
HD Screening and Laboratory addresses these disparities by:
Providing Tailored Health Screenings: Our customized health screening services ensure that drivers are equipped to meet the physical demands of their work, detect potential health risks early, and maintain their long-term well-being.
Promoting Preventative Care: Through partnerships with AAWTA, we emphasize preventative care strategies, including wellness checks, chronic disease management, and resources to navigate the healthcare system effectively.
Offering Accessible Services: With mobile and on-site screening options, we make health services convenient and accessible for drivers, minimizing disruption to their demanding schedules.
Education as Empowerment
At HD Screening and Laboratory, we believe that education is a powerful tool for empowering individuals and building healthier, safer workplaces. By working closely with AAWTA, we provide comprehensive health and safety education tailored to the trucking profession:
Health Literacy Programs: These initiatives teach drivers about nutrition, mental health, ergonomics, and managing fatigue to ensure they remain fit for the road.
Safety Workshops: Through in-depth training, we equip drivers with the knowledge to prevent accidents, respond to medical emergencies, and reduce occupational hazards.
Business Education: For those seeking to expand into fleet ownership or entrepreneurship, we provide insights into creating health-focused policies for their operations.
